Formlabs declares new line of engineering resins

Formlabs, the designer and manufacturer of powerful and accessible 3D printing systems, has recently declared a new line of high-performance functional resins for engineering applications: High Temp, Durable, and Tough.

“With today’s expanded suite of materials, Formlabs is introducing the most comprehensive library of high-performance functional resins for engineering applications on the desktop 3D printing market, and making accessible industrial-grade 3D printing engineering materials at a fraction of a cost,” said Dávid Lakatos, chief product officer at Formlabs. “We want to equip and enable our users with an even bigger and more powerful toolbox of high-performance resins so that they can achieve reliable, precise prints and can pursue even more remarkable endeavors in engineering, design, and manufacturing.”

Formlabs’ High Temp Resin is the most capable material of its kind, with an HDT of 289 °C at 0.45 MPa—the highest on the 3D printing materials market. High Temp Resin enables users to create parts that are more temperature-resistant than traditional 3D printed parts.

Durable Resin is a wear-resistant, ductile material that simulates the stiffness and smooth, glossy finish of everyday plastics. With stiffness and high-impact strength comparable to polypropylene (PP) plastic, Durable Resin is ideal for applications from prototyping consumer products to packaging.

With its ability to absorb high impact and other mechanical stressors that would normally cause 3D printed parts to snap or shatter, Tough Resin has been engineered for applications that require performance under stress or strain.
